I hate Solar Panel Systems, specially with New Jersey tax credits.
What a con-job, solar systems are in the great state of New Jersey!!!
- Broken tiles: tiles that need to be removed might have been previously fixed to the roof through nails. Hence, when removing them, the chances to crack and break them are very high.
- Leaking: proper sealing of the holes provided. Also, for every nail removed, the installer must apply roof cement to cover the hole created in the roof tar (if present). If they forget, then chances are high for water to leak through!
- Cracked rafter: Besides, another problem is the use of inappropriate bolts to fix the hooks to the rafters. Normal bolts are not feasible for rafters. On the other hand, roof bolts allow distributing the pressure on a wider surface (due to their large head) avoiding any crack on the wooden rafters.
- Bending rails: this is a fairly uncommon issue, mainly due to installers that might be new to the area. Indeed, in zones with heavy snow during winter the metal rails, if for light applications, might bend (and potentially damage the roof)
I have a friend in New Jersey ~ 1/2 of his roof has to be replaced in January because of solar panels on his New Jersey home on the New Jersey Shore. One of the panels, on his roof, did not drain any water, so the water sat there for 5 years and iced up during the waters and did not drain water with the New Jersey Shore salt air. Also, another point, his New Jersey homeowners insurance do not pick up anything.
Introduction to advantages and disadvantages of solar energy
Solar Insolation is a process of converting the sun’s energy into electricity through the use of photovoltaic cells. Solar insolation has been gaining traction in recent years, as it offers a cost-effective and eco-friendly way to generate power. However, investing in solar insolation in New Jersey may not be the most financially prudent decision due to its inconsistent availability throughout the state. The amount of sunlight available for generating power varies between different areas, which makes it hard to determine how much money could potentially be saved or made from such an investment. Additionally, there are other factors that need to be taken into consideration when looking at whether solar insolation is an effective choice for New Jersey residents; namely initial costs, maintenance, and repair expenses of the insulation of the high cost of a solar system environmental impacts and efficiency concerns. Examining all these issues will help individuals decide if investing in solar power solutions is worth their time and money. I think not!
How much does it cost to install solar panels?
So you want to install solar panels in New Jersey? The upfront cost is around $13,750 or $9,625 after that 30% tax credit. So really it’s $20,000 to $25,000 out of pocket! Are solar panels tax-deductible in New Jersey? If you think 30% over 5 years tax credit worth it?
How do solar panels work?
Advantages of Solar Insolation.
One of the most significant advantages of investing in solar insolation is cost savings. Solar energy systems require a large up-front investment, but they pay for themselves over time through reduced electricity bills and various incentives like New Jersey state tax credits or rebates. Furthermore, since sun exposure is free, once the initial setup costs have been recouped, there are no additional fuel costs associated with producing power from solar panels. Additionally, studies have shown that households with solar panels on their roofs often benefit from increased property values due to the appeal of using renewable energy sources as well as potential tax benefits that come along with it.
Another advantage of solar insolation is the ability to earn solar credits for excess under certain circumstances. In New Jersey, this process is known as net metering where customers get credited for any excess electricity produced by their system at retail rate prices, leading to further financial benefits beyond just reducing electricity bills each month. This incentive provides another great reason why individuals should consider investing in solar energy solutions if they want to make long-term cost savings while also helping reduce their environmental footprint.
But is this all worth it for the New Jersey Homeowner’s?
Disadvantages of Solar Insolation
One of the main drawbacks of investing in solar insolation is its expensive initial costs. The cost of installing a photovoltaic system depends on several factors such as size, type, and location. Furthermore, any additional equipment needed for proper functionality can also add to the overall installation costs. On top of this, New Jersey residents may need to pay an upfront fee for connecting their systems to the grid if they plan on selling back excess electricity generated by their system through net metering.
Another issue with solar insolation is maintenance and repair expenses associated with keeping systems functioning properly over time. Since photovoltaic cells are sensitive to weather conditions like extreme temperatures or hail storms, they require regular cleaning and monitoring in order to ensure that they remain efficient at all times.
In addition, due to the complexity of some photovoltaic systems and components, it may hire professional technicians or specialized crews whenever repairs become necessary, which could lead to added financial burden depending on how often those services are used? Meaning, these so-called solar panel systems break down easy.
Solar panel efficiency ~ New Jersey.
When considering the efficiency of solar insolation in New Jersey, it is important to take into account the variables that can affect its performance. One major factor is location; due to its northerly latitude and coastal location, New Jersey does not receive as much direct sunlight throughout the year as other states further south would. This means that individuals in this state may need larger photovoltaic systems or more efficient ones to make up for lower levels of available sun exposure.
Not like Florida (The sun shine state) where you have around 300 days of sun. New Jersey has about 200 days of sun on the average. Then again, I would not install solar panels in a Florida home!
Additionally, weather conditions like cloud cover and precipitation, snow, (cold weather means lack of sun) can also have an effect on how effective a system is at generating power,
It’s also essential to compare costs and benefits when looking into investing in solar insolation solutions. Initial setup costs are typically very high, but they are often mitigated through various incentives like tax credits or rebates, which can help offset some of those expenses while providing additional financial savings over time. Furthermore, maintenance and repair costs associated with keeping systems running properly should be taken into consideration in order to determine whether they could potentially outweigh any cost savings generated by using solar energy instead of traditional sources like fossil fuels. Finally, environmental impacts (Bull Sh*t) should be considered since switching over from conventional sources helps reduce emissions while also conserving resources, which ultimately leads towards a cleaner environment for everyone involved.
In my opinion, environmental impacts and fossil fuels are better than solar any day of the week. New Jersey Residents were sold a load of crap with solar energy! This was not free, even with the 30% off tax assessment just over 5 years. It’s still $10,000 or more out of pocket for each homeowner. It’s all about the climate change religion vs the real cost of the new sources of energy for the future.
